A father from Suffolk has been found guilty of murdering his four-week-old son by shaking him.

Baby Luigi Askew died in hospital in May last year after paramedics were called to the house where he lived with his mother at Lanercost Way, Ipswich.

A jury at Ipswich Crown Court found Duncan Mills, 32, guilty of murder and also grievous bodily harm with intent on the child's mother Samantha Askew.

Sentencing has been delayed for eight weeks for psychiatric reports.

He was remanded in custody.

After the case Det Insp Stuart McCallum said: "This was a complex case of domestic abuse, which involved close liaison with the Suffolk Crown Prosecution Service throughout.

"The conviction in this case is testimony to the determination and professionalism of the officers involved and will hopefully offer the family some form of closure."
